  Dave You may do better to put the VST_PATH in 
  your autoexec.bat file
  that way you will just have to load the plugin~ 
  or vst~ object 
  i would love to share some patches using VST with 
  you if you care to.
  I have some neat ones with Richard Dobson's Pv 
  plugs and the newer ether and shapee plugins
  Also i have made one with northpole which is 
  rather nice too
  cheers

    Hi
I 
    cannot get the VST~ object to work on my machine. Whenever I put a VST~ 
    object in a new canvas it crashes.
I have set the path to search my 
    VST plugin folder by adding the 'set VST_PATH....' in a batch file I use to 
    run PD, is this the correct place to put it?
I have also tried 
    variations on the path command by using '\' instead of  '/' but with 
    the same result.
Here is my .bat file...
  pd -lib 
    ../vst/Release/vst -noadc -midiindev 1 -midioutdev 1 set VST_PATH=D:\Program 
    Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins
and here is the command line readout after 
    I run it...
  VST host  by mark williamson
  
    contains source code from Psycle tracker
  Contact: mark@junklight.com  . website: http://www.junklight.com
  VSTLib: version: 0.1
  VSTLib 
    compiled: May 7 2002
  open: No such file or directory
  
    No such file or directory
  open: No such file or 
    directory
  No such file or directory
The 'no such file or 
    directory' error only occurs when I include the set VST_PATH command, but 
    the path is definitely correct.
Any help please? 
    
Thanks 
    in 
advance
